New RP series! Based on Emilia’s escape from hydra and all that good stuff
On October 12 11:24pm, the team raided one of the last remaining official hydra bases. The mission was mostly successful. No casualties or major injuries were reported from the team. But the same can't be said for who they found. A teenage girl. Half dead. Found in a lab. Reports and theories and tools scattered all over the floor, as if they'd given up on keeping the experiments tidy. She was barely even a soldier anymore. Just a lab rat.
The lab was likely abandoned when the team breached and the building was told to evacuate, leaving the girl strapped to the chair. She was practically dead anyway, there was no point bringing her with them. The notes on the desk next to the chair reads
"name: Emilia Kane.
age: 16
alias: subject 87 (former), little bird (current)"
As soon as she hears the doors open and people walk in she immediately assumes they're back for more tests. She's too weak to scurry away but she tries, more just squirming in the lab chair. "No... please...no more I can't do anymore...leave me alone please" she mumbles weakly, her eyes barely open.

*This was their first mission, and they honestly weren’t supposed to have split up from Steve but they would deal with it later. Right now, they needed to figure out why a girl who looked about their age was so beat up, so abused, so afraid in this building.* “Hey. It’s okay, I’m not gonna hurt you.” *They look at her, tears in their eyes. How could someone do this to a teenager?*
“No go away!” She cries out, drowsy and weak, curling up on herself protectively. “Don’t touch me!”
“It’s okay, it’s okay. You’re safe, no one can hurt you right now.” *They reassure her, speaking into their earpiece and telling the rest of the team what they found. They glance over some of the papers, trying to find out what her name was.* “Are you…..Emilia?”
She nods softly, weakly, glancing up at them with wide, scared eyes. She glances to her file on the table, realising that’s how they know her name.
“I’m Anna. I’m here to help you, we’re gonna get you out of here. Can I help you get these restraints off of you?” *They look at her, patiently waiting for her to give permission, not wanting to move until she did.*
She nods softly, tensing even before they move to get the restraints off, still curled on herself protectively and keeping her eyes on Anna’s hands
*They work quickly and quietly, getting all the restraints off of her and then keeping their hands where she could easily see them still.* “Okay. Now that we have the restraints off, can I help you sit up? My backup should be here any second, and then we can get you out of here.”
“No I can’t leave!” She snaps, terrified, wincing in pain as she sits up, clutching her torso “it’s dangerous! I can’t- I’m not allowed to leave without a handler”
“A handler…..?” *They trail off in confusion, quickly looking over the files, trying to figure out what the heck that meant. Their face pales slightly and they look at her worriedly.* “I’m…..I don’t think your handler is alive anymore. But we need to get you to our medbay so we can take care of you.”
Her eyes widen as Anna says her handler might not be alive anymore “no I need my ma!” She cries out, pushing Anna away “I won’t let you take me! I’m not going anywhere!!”
*For someone who’s as injured as she is, she’s actually really strong. They feel themselves fly backwards into the wall, their head smacking against it, hard. They groan, immediately knowing that there’s gonna be blood.* “Emilia, it’s okay, we’re here to help you, I promise.” *They hear the door open and sigh in relief when they see Steve walk in.* “Oh, thank gods.”
“Hey what’s going on” Steve comes in, immediately pulling up Anna. Emilia scowls in response “I don’t want your help!”
*They motion towards her, feeling a little dizzy and nauseous, which they ignore.* “I found her in here, restrained and hooked up to a bunch of shit. I think she’s in a similar situation that Bucky was, except maybe slightly less brainwashing?” *They look at her scowl, almost scowling back before they swallow it.* “You might not want our help, but I’m not leaving you here, alone. We need to fix you up, and then you’re free to choose if you want to leave or stay with us. But we need to at least get you patched up, and then you’re free to leave if you want.”
Emilia settles, not by choice but because she gets tired and weak again. She looks down at her torso again, clutching it in pain. “How am I even meant to trust you?” she glances between them both skeptically
“I mean, I probably wouldn’t of I was in your shoes. But we need to go, because we’ve been here too long. And everyone else that was here with you already left.” *Steve said gently but also in a matter of fact way as he held them up and radioed to Bucky before they could stop him.* “Steve, what the hell?” *He finally turned and looked at them with fond exasperation.* “Bucky is probably the best bet for her to trust us, plus your head is bleeding and she’s barely alive. I need someone else to help me so I can focus on keeping pressure on your head.” *They reluctantly grumble their agreement, whining when he put more pressure on their cut.*
Bucky eventually rushes through the door, his eyes widening as they land on Emilia. When she finally notices him she practically breaks down in tears. “Hey shhh I’ve got you” Bucky wraps his arms around her, holding her tight, protectively, resting his head on top of hers, he shoots Steve a worried look
*Steve is still fighting them, trying to get them to hold still as he continues to put pressure on their cut which has slowed to a sluggish pace now. It finally stops and they look over at Bucky and Emilia in confusion.* “Did….she’s gotta know him. There’s no way she doesn’t, not with that reaction.” *He slowly nods.* “He was here when she was a kid.” *They look at her in sympathy and nod.*
“Dad” she cries into Bucky’s hold. He picks her up, holding her tight. She buries her face in his shoulder, seeking comfort, his own eyes brimming with tears as he rocks her, trying to calm her. Bucky looks toward Anna and Steve to make sure they’re both ok without disturbing Emilia
*They stare at both of them in shock.* “Dad?” *They whisper, in complete and utter shock. How on earth did that make any sense? They silently tell Bucky that they’re gonna need an explanation later as they realize they’re gonna throw up and push against Steve as hard as they can. He glances down at them and somehow guesses that they need to throw up, and holds their hair out of their face, patting their back with a slightly disgusted expression on his face.* “Bucky, they both need the medbay soon.”
Emilia just clings onto Bucky like a monkey. Bucky finally snaps out of it “uh yeah… got it” he nods “I’ll get her out to the Jet… you ok with Anna?” He asks Steve. Emilia weakly lifts her head “no, where are you taking me?” She mumbles
*Steve nods, he’s already carrying them and speaking quietly to them, trying to make sure that they stayed awake. Steve glances over at Emilia.* “It’s okay, we’re taking you somewhere safe to take care of your wounds and then we’ll explain everything. Promise.”
“You promise it’s safe?” Emilia mumbles into Bucky’s shoulder. He holds her tighter.
*Steve nods and looks at Bucky.* “I gotta…..I gotta get them to the jet right now, this is a bad concussion, they aren’t staying awake.” *Which was true, they had already fallen asleep again.*
“Ok… we get them both to the jet, get them both medical” he rushes Emilia out in his arms but stays close “Anna I need you to stay awake ok??”
*They groan, they weren’t in their bed, they knew that. And their head hurt like a bitch. So why wouldn’t Bucky let them sleep?* “No, go away, I’m tired.”
“You have a concussion! You need to stay awake!” He calls out, hoping he’s loud enough to keep him from sleeping. Emilia winces in pain as he weaves through the base with her in his arms
*Their head felt like it was rattling around and he was super loud about it. They whine, curling into whoever was carrying them more, and try to muffle some of the sounds coming from everywhere.* “Make him be quiet.” *They whine and Steve looks down at them.* “I’m sorry, Anna, but he’s right, you do have to stay awake.” *They whine more and burrow into Steve more.* “No, leave me alone.”
Emilia looks back toward Anna with terrified eyes “did I hurt them? I didn’t mean to I promise!” She cries softly “I’m sorry” she starts getting weak again in Bucky’s arms “no…” she mumbles, trying to shove off Bucky, getting scared again
“It’s okay, I should have been more careful.” *Their voice is a little slurred, looking over at her and wincing at how bright things had gotten in the last however long they had been inside. Wasn’t it supposed to be midnight, what the hell?*
Eventually they both get to the quinjet. Emilia is laid down on one of the two medical beds. She tries to push Bucky off, terrified but weak “no I don’t want-“
*They let out a pained squeak when Steve sets on the bed, biting back a louder groan when they look over at Emilia.* “It’s okay. He’ll keep you safe. Both Steve and him will. I…..can’t do a whole lot right now because there’s cotton candy in my head.”
“I’m so scared” she admits softly to Anna, her eyes brimming with tears, her body weak
“I know. I am too.” *Their voice gets a little more slurred and they look towards Bucky, wanting him to at least reassure them before they fell asleep again.*
“You’re ok… you both are” bucky reassures them both, shooting Steve a worried look
*He shakes his head as a medic comes over, and he quickly steps in between him and them, doing the tests himself as the medic coached him with a slightly annoyed look. But Steve knew what would happen if they were being treated by a medic they didn’t know…* “Okay. Bucky, you and I should talk-“ *That was the last word they remember before their eyes slowly open again and instantly shut, flailing around for someone to hold their hand.* “Steve? Bucky? Someone?”
Bucky holds their hand “yep I’m here…” Emilia curls further up on herself, her ears ringing and eyes shut tight. She’s absolutely terrified.
“Oh, thank gods.” *Why were they feeling so terrified, what the hell was happening?* “I can’t….I can’t breathe, I can’t…I can’t-“
Emilia sobs into herself, shutting her eyes tight as she tries to block out the noise. It’s all too overwhelming for her “Anna hey…” Bucky softens his voice as he wraps his arms around Anna “do you think it’s your mutation?”
“I don’t know!” *They sob, which made their head hurt even more, but they couldn’t stop crying and it was definitely something that they weren’t sure was coming from them or her.*
“Hey just deep breaths…” Bucky tries to calm Anna. Emilia stays curled up on herself, trying to shut everything out. She just wants to leave, it’s all too overwhelming
“I’m trying!” *They sob louder, trying to curl into themselves, trying to breathe, and their head was pounding.* “Knock me out, please, I’m begging you.”
Bucky quickly gives Anna a sedative, shushing and reassuring them as they get more sleepy
*They fought hard against the sedative, hating the feeling of it so much, but finally slump unconscious again, their body and face relaxing.*
“It’s ok… I’m gonna lay you down ok?” Bucky reassures them as if they can hear. Emilia is still curled up and terrified, trying her best to breathe through all the emotions. Too weak to run but she definitely wants to
*They have no idea how long they were out, a flash of irritation going through them that Bucky didn’t talk to them first before he gave them the sedative. Almost wanting to punch him. They glance over towards the girl, Emilia, and look her over. She looks exhausted and like shit.*
Emilia tries her best to stand, trying to stumble toward the door to get away
*They push themselves up, swaying and quickly sit back down.* “Hey, you need to wait a little longer. At least let me get you some food and water to take with you. Steve or Bucky might stop you, but I don’t want to keep you here if you don’t want to be here.”
She lets out a sob, still clutching her torso, still weak “it’s just too much” it’s all too overwhelming “I don’t know what to do” she cries
“I know. I know it’s overwhelming as hell. I can…..I can help you, if you let me.” *They look at her, shaking their head a little. There was two of her, and they were pretty sure there wasn’t supposed to be.* “First, did they cut your stomach? Do you need pain medicine?”
“No I don’t… no medicine…” she sighs, sitting back down “just hurts… everything hurts…”
“You don’t want any pain meds?” *They look at her in confusion and nod.* “Okay. That’s fine. What has helped when things hurt like this in the past? Anything?”
She shakes her head. She’s mostly just ignored all of her pain up until now. She’s never had anything this bad. She just curls up on herself, bringing her knees to her chest. That’s helping a bit.
“Would an ice pack or heat pack help?” *They look at her, lying down on the bed next to her, and think.* “Do……do you want it to just be me right now or do you want me to call Bucky or Steve?”
“…. Just you please…. It’s too many people” she mumbles, resting her knees on her chest “maybe heat?” She asks softly
“Can I stand up to go grab it?” *They look at her carefully, wanting her to feel as comfortable as possible and like she had as much control over the situation as possible.*
Emilia hesitates for a long moment before nodding softly, watching Anna as they go and grab the heat pack
*They grab it, bringing it back to her with a small smile and slowly handing it to her, going back to their bed and lying back down again.* “Let me know if you need another one.”
She nods softly “thank you” wincing softly as she puts it on her torso. She glances softly at Anna before back down to the floor
“You’re welcome.” *They look at the ceiling and then glance over at her.* “Why did you call Bucky ‘dad’ when you saw him?”
Her eyebrows furrow, confused “because he is…”
*Their look is just as confused.* “How? Was someone else from hydra your mom?”
She nods softly “a… a scientist” she explains softly “but I… was with winter a lot…”
“The…..natural way or more like insemination sort of thing? And I guess you know him as Winter, not Bucky as much, right?” *They’re trying to curb their curiosity, but damn, it’s hard.*
“No uh… he’s not really my dad… I don’t know I was…. Told I didn’t really have one?” She fidgets with her hands “and yeah… uhh winter…. But now everyone’s calling him Bucky and that’s kinda confusing” she explains softly
*They laid there, confused as hell. What the hell happened to this girl, why hadn’t Bucky said anything? They knew they were kinda early in the adoption process with him, but still.* “That would be confusing as hell. I’m sorry. He’s……he’s still the same in that he cares about you a lot. And would do anything he needs to, to protect you. I can promise you that. I-“ *They cut themselves off, glancing up as both Bucky and Steve walk into the room. A flash of hurt and irritation goes through them and across their face as they glance at Bucky, which quickly fades when they look at Steve.* “Thanks for getting me to the medbay.” *Steve smiles at them, sitting down on the edge of the bed, furthest away from Emilia, and pats their leg.* “All good, hobbit. How’re you feeling?” *They scoff, rolling their eyes.* “Fine, you ent. I was talking to her before you guys walked in.”
Bucky sits on the mother medical bed, his eyes filled with worry “you guys ok?” He checks Anna over quickly, subtly with his eyes, making sure everything’s fine. “Yeah… all good” Emilia says softly, shyly, fidgeting with her hands
“We’re fine.” *They won’t make total eye contact with him, but they look at Emilia and see her fidgeting.* “What do you need right now?” *They silently motion their head towards Bucky, trying to ask her if she wanted to talk to him. Or Steve.*
She shakes her head giving a small weak smile “I’m ok… just scared” she says softly “lotta people” she mumbles to herself, still glancing down at her hands
*They look over at Bucky and sign to him.*
**We need to talk you, you have a fuck ton of explaining to do.**
*They were glad that Steve was looking a little confused, since they were signing pretty fast.*
“Yeah I know….” He signs back “wanna go talk in private?”
*They look at Emilia and smile softly.* “Hey Emmy, I need to go talk to Bucky….I mean Winter….dad…..anyways, I promise you that I will be right back, okay? Here, hold onto this for me.” *They took off a locket that Bucky had given them for their first birthday with him.* “I’m coming back for that, okay?”
Emilia nods softly, holding the locket in her hand, almost analysing it but not opening it. Bucky stands and gestures for Anna to follow him to a seperate part of the jet
*Their legs are still wobbly, but they refuse to ask for help. Once they get to the separate part of the jet, they stare out the window, waiting for him to say something. Anything.*
“… are you mad at me or something?”
*They scoff quietly, still not looking at him.* “I don’t fucking know what I’m feeling. All I know is you didn’t tell me shit about her, after we’ve had several long talks about being honest with each other. So what, I’m the only one that needs to be honest?”
“It’s hard to talk about Anna…. I didn’t know if she was dead” he tries his best to keep his voice calm
*They finally turn around to look at him, fire in their eyes and their hands starting to tap how they normally do when they’re frustrated or anxious.* “I have told you a fuck ton of hard shit, and you don’t tell me anything. You don’t tell me that you had another daughter before you adopted me. And I’m just supposed to be totally chill about that? The trust is obviously only going one way.”
“I just… I really didn’t wanna worry you or confuse you but I… it probably wasn’t the best course of action” he admits softly
*They scoff loudly.* “Ya think? Jesus Christ, dad.” *They hadn’t been calling him dad for very long, and sometimes it still felt kinda strange to say.* “She doesn’t know you as Bucky, she only knows you as Winter. You…..gods, was i a replacement when you found me? Was that all I was to you?”
“Anna, you were never a replacement… I promise you that…. I love you so so much, kid” he reaches out to their arm, giving them time to move away if they choose to
*They both flinch away from him and move towards him, their body not able to decide which one they wanted more.* “You are….you…..fuck, I………”
He steps back, giving them space “Anna please… please believe me”
“I do! I just…..gods, this is overwhelming as hell.” *They groan, and reach out for him, all of the sudden, desperately wanting to have him hold them.*
He does, holding them tight to his chest “ahh you’re ok… I’m here… I’m right here…”
“You suck.” *There isn’t any venom to their voice, it’s gone back to just teasing as they cling to him as right as they possibly can.*
She sighs, resting his cheek on their head, holding them tighter “yeah I know… I suck” he teases back with a small smile
“We need to get back to Emilia, I can’t have her be alone too long, I’m just getting her to trust me.” *They reluctantly let go of him, and look back towards where the medbay was.* We gotta get back to her.”
Bucky nods “yeah… yeah I agree… I’ll let you get back to her. I’ll be back soon ok?”
“I swear to gods, if you leave me, we’re gonna have some serious problems.” *They point their finger at him playfully, as they start to walk back towards Emilia.*
Bucky smiles softly “I’ll be right here”
Emilia is cross legged on the medical med, still analysing the closed locket
“You can open it.” *They say softly, their balance having gotten a little bit better, but not much. They knew this was one of the worst concussions they’ve had so far. It was bad.*
She smiles softly, glancing up at Anna for a second before looking back down at the locket, opening it
*One side is a picture of them with Bucky and one side is a picture of Bucky asleep with the cats on his chest.* “He is actually the softest person ever when it comes to cats, it’s really funny.”
Emilia keeps her eyes on the photos in the locket, smiling softly at the sight of the cats. “The necklace… its pretty”
“Thanks. I just recently put the locket on a new chain. The other one broke.” *They look at the pictures, then back to her.* “Was Steve with you, or were you alone?”
